On Monday, 7 March 2022 from 5 PM – 6 PM CET, we will host the second and final session of the ESMINT Webinar Mini-Series on Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension.
The webinar will be moderated by Jan-Hendrik Buhk (Germany) and Tomas Dobrocky (Switzerland). Speakers of the ESMINT webinar are Waleed Brinjikji (USA) and Eike Piechowiak (Switzerland).
This is a special ESMINT Webinar and is free of charge.
What is the webinar about?
The webinar mini-series will elaborate on SIH pathophysiology, neuroimaging by highlighting the value of brain MRI and provide a comprehensive guide to the diagnostic spine work-up for identifying and localizing CSF leaks. We review the three-tier therapeutic model that has been proposed for SIH, focusing on endovascular and surgical techniques.
Key message of the part 2
CSF venous fistulas (CSFVF) are an increasingly recognized cause of SIH, which might pose a challenge during the diagnostic work-up. Transvenous embolization of CSFVF has recently been reported to be an effective treatment method.
Brain MRI is valuable additional tool for standardized therapy monitoring and may complement the clinical presentation.
